Yes The old fashioned ones die back for me, but they reappear in the spring. The ferny leaved ones also grow here. I have to take more care of those to keep them. It gets dry in my yard in the summer.

Thanks.
I'll figure a way to pack them into the car in about a month and plant them.
I'll post a photo of the flowers (now in bloom) at www.vineyardftmyers.blogspot.com
